Google's true purpose is to take over the world!

The main purpose of ANY company, is to MAKE MONEY, so the top-level execs can enjoy a huge cushy corner office, drive a company Mercedes S-class, own a Bentley for personal use, host extravagant parties on their yacht, visit France on weekends in the private jet, live in a house so big there are rooms they've never set foot in, and still have enough to pay for private security, butler, maid, and nanny for the rugrats. Accomplishing this goal for Google includes ads, and for manufacturers, includes customization for product differentiation and locked bootloaders to reduce losses from warranty/support claims.

In a way, it's the lax rules of "open" Android which has allowed manufacters to customize however they see fit.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the fact that this woman is interested enough in technology to even bother ranting about Google, Android, and secured bootloaders, is a total turn on?

All companies give something away then, start changing the game, the problem with All phone companies is soon we will have devices that will allow us to load whatever we want, (we do that with dual boot now) this will become the standard, probably take 3-5 years before it is mainstream. But, like everyone else said Google just wants to make money. and have secure market position.....

..... duh.....

I completely disagree with the whole "stock skin is awesome!" thing. I personally dislike the stock Android theme, and it was one of the reasons I disliked CM7 to begin with, until I found Honeybread.

The stock Galaxy S theme is my favorite theme I've seen so far.

I agree with synaesthetic's vision. Would be amazing if we could dual boot operating systems on any smartphone too.

sales are UP

Google also gives all your personal data (contacts included, and all their data) to it's subsidiaries. thus bypassing Google's own privacy policies, and this is perfectly legal.

they then make a big tree showing your surfing habits, your friends and families. what u eat and drink and what movies you watch, what news you are interested in your political affiliation !

the more info they have on you the more you are worth to them.

both for their own adds and the more you are worth when they sell your info through their subsidiaries!

like i said this is all perfectly legal. because it's subsidiaries do not have the same privacy policies as the parent company! in this case Google!

why do u think they want to get into the internet service providing business (ISP)? More INFO!

now they have u using their OS, their web-browser, their app store, their email, google maps (to see where u go and what u eat) even down to what streets u use and how long u spend at each place!

the amount of info they have on u is mind blowing

why do u think they are trying to pass a bill in congress on how (and how much) these companies collect info on you!

it will never pass. but it shows you even members of congress are concerned about the points i made above!

so I'm not just talking out of my behind OR a conspiracy nut. it cant even be a conspiracy if it wanted to because the info i right out in the open for anyone who cares enough to look for it,

the companies even Google are not trying to hide anything

food for thought next time u turn on your Google

[Venue Pro General] simbadogg:
Hey guys, just wanted to see if anyone else was having this problem, or if possibly my girlfriend has a defective unit. Like i said, my gf has a dvp but when it dies and i connect it to a charger (1 amp) it'll sit for 10-15 minutes and still wont turn on. I was able today to take the battery out, let it sit for a minute, then put it back in and turn it on, and it did just that. And then it showed that the phone was charging. then after a few minutes it turned off.

Anyone else have this problem? Because i know as is, the phone is supposed to turn on automatically because the phone has to be on to charge (a wp7 "feature")

anyone think i have a defective unit? By the way...today when it happened it was the 2nd time its happened to her so far.
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
It's happened a couple times on mine since I got it in late December.
[Venue Pro General] pritter:
I am currently having this same problem. This is distinctly different from the other crashes (Marketplace/wifi kindof thing), which is often resolved by quickly removing and replacing the battery, which many are waiting for the April 18 Dell firmware fix to resolve. (Better to hold the power button down for 5 secs than constantly remove the back and battery.)

This is different. The phone is quite dead. The power button is completely unresponsive. The battery must be left out for at least a minute. The phone doesn't even charge when in this state, as I left it on the charger overnight. It does recur as well, but I haven't had time to fully investigate. I have had the nodo update for a week prior to this occuring, so that may not be related.
[Venue Pro General] missionsparta:
Having the same problem, and as the guy above stated, THIS IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE NORMAL CRASHES. This has started for me since the NoDo update. Pulling the battery does nothing. I just have to leave it sit and come back. Sometimes it restarts on it's own after 5 minutes and sometimes 2 hours. Either way, I am sick of this lemon.
[Venue Pro General] dmar92:
Same here

Hey i am having the same problem also. I thought it was just because my phone completely died. It turned on eventually and then i had it charging overnight and now its doing the same thing. Seriously thinking about going back to android. So many problems.
[Venue Pro General] demondo:
I'm having a very similar problem to the one described above. Earlier this evening I unboxed a completely new Dell Venue Pro. It was carrier locked to T-Mobile, but I have subsequently unlocked it with the code provided to me from Dell directly. My plan is to use the phone on the Rogers network in Canada, and right now there is no SIM card in it.

Anyway, the phone refuses to charge properly. When it has the battery in it, and I try plugging it into the wall, the phone shows a full screen icon of a battery with a AC plug on it (I assume this means the phone is fully charged.) However the moment I unplug it the screen goes dark and there is no way of turning it back on. I've tried holding the power button, I've tried pulling the battery, putting it back in, and then holding the power button. Nothing seems to work.

If I plug in the phone into the wall with no battery in it. I can get into the OS. If I then put the battery back into the phone while it is still charging, it'll show that the battery has no charge. After a few minutes (in the ball park of 5-10) it'll again show the full screen icon of a battery with a AC plug on it.

I've compared this to my friend's Samsung Focus which was plugged in when it has no charge. The Samsung focus will show a full screen critically low battery icon when first plugged in, then as it charges we'll get a full screen low battery icon, and then the Windows Phone 7 OS itself will load. (It is still not fully charged, so I do not know if we ultimately get the full screen icon of the battery with plug.)

Both phones (Samsung Focus and Dell Venue Pro) have been charging for over 2 hours now. The Samsung Focus is in the WP7 OS and shows an increasingly charged battery. The Dell Venue Pro still has that full screen battery+plug icon.

The only way I can access the WP7 OS on the Dell Venue Pro is to take out the battery and plug it directly into a wall, or directly into the computer. I have succeeding at carrier unlocking it and upgrading the OS all the way to Mango using this approach. However the phone just refuses to run on battery power.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Do you think it is the phone, or the battery itself? Any advice would be appreciated.

P.S. Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I'm a n00b, and the video said to find a thread related to my problem, and post there. :)

Edit: So the Samsung Focus finished charging. It lets me interact with the WP7 OS, and does not have the full screen battery with AC plug icon. Although it does have a much smaller version of the icon on the top of the screen where the remaining battery icon is.
[Venue Pro General] magicsquid:
Sounds like something my phone did a few months ago. I was able to resolve the issue by following the steps in the post below.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11699369&postcount=10

The issue hasn't happened since. Not sure if it's the same issue but give it a try and see if it helps :)
[Venue Pro General] demondo:
THANKS, it worked!

I know I tried those steps (from the same post) before upgrading to Mango and it didn't seem to work. After upgrading to Mango, it did work. The only variation I made to the steps was that when you try to shut down the phone (while holding the power button) I also swiped downward, as that is now needed with Mango.
[Venue Pro General] Mauriciovsky:
Hi demondo, im having the same exact problem as you and im also with mango, can you please explain a little better what you did ? Until now nothing had sucess for me :(

Thanks
[Venue Pro General] demondo:
Hi Mauriciovsky,

I do not know what the minimum number of steps is to get rid of the problem. Here's what I did, but probably some of it isn't needed:

Charge the phone (with battery in it) using the AC adapter for a few hours with the bettery + plug icon. (I charged it until a Samsung Focus was fully charged.)

Unplug the charger.

Take out the battery.

Plug in phone to computer over USB.

Update the phone all the way to Mango. (You know you're in Mango when holding the back button brings you to the tile view of your running applications.)

With phone still plugged in to USB, plug in the battery.

(MAYBE) unplug the phone from USB. I can't recall if I did this step or now, I don't think so, but maybe.

Either way, turn off the phone. This is done by holding the power button for two seconds and then swiping downward when instructed to do so.

Unplug the phone if you haven't done so earlier.

Hold the power button for two seconds, then let go. The Dell logo should appear, and the phone should boot.

Sorry I can't give you a more concise explanation. However, the phone has been working great in the few hours since the problem went away. Hopefully it'll work for you too.
[Venue Pro General] Mauriciovsky:
Thanks a lot for the help demondo and the other guys
[Venue Pro General] KimWinter:
I had the same problem: my DVP's, running WP7.5 "Mango", battery got drained and when I tried to turn it back on it would not boot, not even when I hooked it to a power outlet. I finally got it running again, here's what I did:

1. Take out the battery.

2. Turn it on (you should see the Dell logo by now).

3. Put the battery back. (It will alert you that the battery is critically low).

4. Charge it.

*Hope this helps*

This may be a stupid question. Here it goes!! Does overclocking your phone using Setcpu effect internet speed? I think Setcpu only speeds the phone itself but wouldn't speeding the phone help process internet bandwidth faster?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
No, speeding up the phone doesn't effect your bandwidth, it would just allow you to manage it faster.

Look I own an HTC wildfire as my other phone (sgs) is currently bricked + causing pure warfare with me + my p.c. but I fail to find the appeal of this wildfire,it's just sooooooo slow , want to root it + max it out,any suggestions as I'm severely bored with it right now i'm running stock 2.2.1,533mhz......its only bought few weeks ago so you get the set up eh?anyway any guidance would b appreciated,BTW i'm from u.k. (scotland),also for what it's worth I give HTC a pat on the back for it's build quality(I had to put a jacket on my sgs before it felt decent),..........
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
Just one thing - Android smartphone on a budget. Not everyone has the budget to splurge on a top end phone like an Incredible, Desire, DHD, SGS etc. This is the major reason.

One more minor reason is the people like their phones to be small and user friendly, not an ungainly brick like most 4" + phones are.

Oh, and, I am sure you know it already, stock 2.2.1 cannot be rooted - so you are out of options. (Unless you find someone with an XTC Clip and get S-OFF .. guess you know this already)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Ehsan Mahmood:
I will recommend you to try SUnAaBh v1.1 which is one of the stable and fastest ROM for HTC Wildfire.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] pmb6177:
Well...thanks for both comments,I totally understand what was said about a budget,otherwise we would ALL be running top-end every 6 months or so,what I was really meaning regarding the amount of dedication,pure desire + commitment within the wildfire community surprised me,call me naive but just wanted my eyes opened up a bit by those who have been involved with a wildfire,not bringing the device down,I actually have the opinion it IS SLOW,I can't change that,so I posted what I did + I THANK THE BOTH OF YOU....regards...
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] nhnt11:
If you mean why is the Wildfire developed on so much, here's my personal reason - I was on a budget, which is why I bought it, but then I was unsatisfied, so since I CAN do something to make it better, I do. Does that make sense?

Also, there's less of a loss by bricking a lower end device while messing around :D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
Also, since I think many Wildfire owners are first time smartphone owners, there are no complaints on speed and stuff like that. Obviously, since you are coming from an SGS, it will be painfully obvious to you, but, for the others - not.

In sys folder there is looong kernel loop, that is the reason for so much files...
[XPERIA X10 General] MrHassell:

ROFL! Dude.. reload your computer, try running Linux if you have at least dual core and download VirtualBox 4 - it's free - load Windaz as a virtual appliance and then your problem is only to back up to an external drive and keep a disc handy in case you crack your own bootloader by accident :D

<waffle>

If your really feel brave try open solaris, the Z file system is the Shizm! And runs VirtualBox.. Blades.. also has a better C implementation which is more compatible with Android, for that matter so does Free BSD.. yes aye :)

</waffle>

EDIT: This is a joke! - haha :)

on boot

export PATH /sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH /system/lib

mkdir /dev

mkdir /proc

mkdir /sys

mount tmpfs tmpfs /dev

mkdir /dev/pts

mkdir /dev/socket

mount devpts devpts /dev/pts

mount proc proc /proc

mount sysfs sysfs /sys'

ok so everytime you make a system call guess what? your appending to the /sys directory - your looking at processes between the kernel :) - It's like a infinite series of softlinks.. the only thing to worry about.. is when you hit the end!

You have no idea what is the /sys and you crack the bootloader?

Perhaps you dont know what the bootloader is and missunderstoud something.

ps: if you have rw acces to the fs you can copy files to /system with astro and not with ghost com, plus the drocap2 will not need su rights to take a screen shot.

Maybe its time to start the "reading about *nix systems" procces. With su rights.

Do you guys prefer CM7 or Miui? I have been on CM7 for a few weeks and just flashed Miui. They are both 2.3.3 android although CM7 is closer to stock AOSP. I can see some benefits with both roms, and am wondering what others think.

This is all preference. I find both awesome, miui takes more user bug fixes and work arounds. Both are beta. Advanced users, or users who have a good working knowledge of their phone should only flash either.

MIUI
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
I tried both. I agree with quoted above. I just came back to CM7 becoz I didn't like MIUI ui. Its so different then I ever saw. Lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuarkGluonSoup:
I think I like CM7 more. Miui is too much like an iphone. I think thats what they are trying to copy. For example, rather than have an app drawer, you have to store your apps in folders on the homescreen, just like on the iphone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Yes I like an app draw, so I created a folder and placed all apps not on home screen in it then placed it on dock. I get the iphone comparison but there are many differences between miui and ios

MIUI
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firas1886:
Guys u can install any drawer like adw and use miui like any regular android

What i miss in CM 7 are some modifications like lockscreen Gestures, custom app starters , arabic language

But the MIUI still has some awesome features like low battery mode, pimped out notification pull down menu, etc...

so am pretty lost :(

If you know enough, I would just use both really, setup cm7 the way you like it then nandroid it. Set up miui the way you like it then nandroid it. Restore when you want one or the other. Works for me. Best of both worlds

Ps do not try to nandroid restore on other roms to roms. This works like that with miui and cm7 for they share same base.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Wall:
Can I flash MIUI over CM7?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] han31sc:
didn't see a reply on this so i decided to jump in and answer this. From what I know, both are 2nd-init roms and you can flash miui over cm7. and just to note, you should NOT use bootstrapper in both roms whatsoever.

hope this helps.

And as far as the two comparisons/choice, I go with CM7. I am currently running nightly 38 without a single problem. From what I have been reading, there are too many bugs running around miui. However, I really like the way customizing is set up for miui. you can overlap themes and lockscreens. I think i might give miui a try when it becomes a bit more stable. Maybe flash miui and then flash nightly 50's CM7. haha.
